Although wireframe documents do not use actual visual elements from a site, one exception is logos. Place a logo on the site by importing a graphic through drag and drop. Once the graphic is on the canvas resize and place it using the selection tool. Images, once imported function like any other shape object in omnigraffle.

If you've spent much time designing for user experience, you've probably come to appreciate the importance of planning. Having a flexible solution that helps you create design documents as part of your workflow is essential. OmniGraffle is a UX design tool that allows you to create wireframes, sitemaps, flowcharts, and more, to help you organize your site and build an intuitive user experience.

Join Jason Osder as he demonstrates how to use OmniGraffle 6. He shows you how to use basic features, like adding lines, shapes, and text, to create diagrams of page layouts, or wireframes, in addition to advanced features, like working with stencils and templates. He lets you know when he is showing a pro-version feature, like presentation mode and subgraphs, so you can adjust accordingly. Along the way, you'll learn how to improve your documentation by eliminating unnecessary elements to help readers visualize all of a site on one page. As an object-based diagramming program, OmniGraffle has features for executing UX and IA documents. Creating other documents, like use case scenarios, content maps, and models, is also covered.
